On the Wings of the Wind
tells the real story behind history’s first successful
attempt to fly. According a former Virginia slave, the
Wright Brothers weren’t the first. In vivid detail
adapted from authentic nineteenth century slave narratives,
Josiah Brantley describes a harrowing, inspirational
journey high above trees, roads and rivers, over the
Allegheny Mountains, north to freedom.
Blending fiction and history,
science and fantasy, On the Wings of the Wind
is a whimsical, high-spirited adventure through the
darkest corners of our American past, a celebration
of ingenuity, perseverance and courage in the face of
the most brutal oppression, a glorious triumph of the
human spirit.
